1. Make your rice

2. Make your meatballs
   In a large bowl mix 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tbsp minced ginger, 1 diced green onion, 1/3 cup panko, 1 egg, 1 tbsp mayo and 1 tbsp hoisin. Add in 1 lb ground turkey and mix lightly with 2 forks until just incorporated. Roll into 2 tbsp balls and place in fridge until ready to use.

3. Cook your meatballs
   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides until almost cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

4. Make your curry
   To the same pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium high heat and add 1/2 lb largely diced green beans and 2 largely diced bell pepper. If your pan has bits of burnt meatballs, add in 1 small splash of chicken stock to deglaze. Cook for about 1 minute. Add in 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp minced ginger and 2 tbsp red curry paste and mix well so the vegetables are coated with the curry paste. Cook for 1 minute. Add in 1 can coconut milk, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp brown sugar and bring to a simmer. To a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water. Add to curry and mix well. Add meatballs back in and simmer for about 5 minutes.

5. Serve
   Drizzle with the juice of 1 lime and serve over rice with cilantro and green onions to garnish.

6. BONUS: add 1/2 tbsp fish sauce with the brown sugar and chicken broth. Finish the recipe with crispy onions.
